I think they are using silicone type tires. I don't have any Mini-Z's anymore. I go to play with other guys cars.

You can ask them on the other thread http://mini-zracer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26917

Rears: the best thus far are the Atomic AR-144 10 degree, the AR-005 work well also but don't have the same grip has the AR-144

Some of the guys tried the PN Carpet tires, they worked great only problem they came off the rims to easily. The hole diameter is to large for silicone based tires they need to have a much smaller hole diameter to stay on the rims.

Silicone base tires just don't stick well to the tire tape. The Atomic tires have a much smaller diameter so they fit tight on the rims and don't come off easily.

The Kyosho tires don't work has well especially after you start running silicone base tires. Some try the 20 degree narrow on the front tires with some success.

Front: people use a variety, AW Grove AR-142 30 degrees, AW Grove AR-141 20 degrees, AR-002 slicks 20 degrees

I think rubber tires are only good for the AWD.

I use 21.5mm Atomic rear wheels and my tires never come off with R246 tape. I hate gluing. Stock wheel's diameter is 20mm. The car is also more stable with 21.5mm.
